(This activity caters learners development in language, reading and speech)
Mother Nature
Arlyn P. Cayobit
Glassy and clear waters in the oceans and seas,
Blue skies with cotton puffs of white clouds on the breeze,
Mangroves and sea grass meadows in sparkling dew,
Fresh air touching one’s soul in calming view,
Such are wonderful gifts of our Mother Nature.
But population bursts with some humans selfish and cruel,
Urban and industrial development changed mother nature,
Breaking her heart with sorrow and pain,
Overharvesting marine species for more gain,
Dredging of sand done and no one seems to care.

9.
Clean sands covered with shattered trash thrown in
hastes,
Clear water turns dark with improperly disposed wastes,
Dynamite fishing makes aquatic species weep,
Excessive use of chemicals households do keep,
Air we breathe is exhausting, it isn’t fair.
Destructions of man must come to end,
For nature’s revenge is cruel and hard to mend,
Take care of the environment providing our needs,
Start now, correct the wrong ways and deeds,
Take part! Conserve and protect our mother nature.
